  Case: Standardized Test Review
It's that time of year, time to review for the standardized tests. What suggestions do you have for making review engaging for students? It can be very boring for the students and myself as a teacher.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I really enjoy doing this activity that I like to call the "ticket system" with my students. As we do review packets, I give out tickets for correct responses. For example, I might do a language review and give out tickets for right answers as I go around. I also might hand out tickets as we discuss questions and students prove their answer. I then put the tickets in a hat and draw out a name or a couple of names at the end of each class. This really motivates students and also helps me see certain areas where kids may need review.
